I have a Blackvue as well but I swapped it out as I preferred to have a screen to see if it was on and the BV I had wouldn't overwrite the car so you had to remember to reformat it every so often.

You lost me - could you expand on this?

Grrrrrrr sausage fingers, "card" as in memory card for some reason it wouldn't overwrite so once full would stop recording so had to be reformatted to clear down the data.

have one in my van to record traffic during accidents (I am fire police)
and control traffic during emergencies.
also you could get discounts on your insurance in some places but that depends on the insuring agents.

I have a nextbase in the car, just usb plugin ... i know typical spark its not hardwired yet lol.
Its saved me a few times ,with road rage incidents, as I can point to the camera and say see you on youtube. your mad drivers usually clear off at that point.

things to be aware of :
some have gps and can work out your speed at time of any accidents. If you submit the sd card to your insurance company after a bump and they look at your movements,they might see your bad driving habits ie speeding a lot.
Some have voice recording and record what is said within the car, this can be switched off , but you need to switch off.
I think its been money well spent

Wish I had footage of what happened just today. I took off to the right lane of a roundabout, a chap to my left took off into the left lane of the roundabout. Then he swerved into the right hand lane in front of me as he'd randomly decided he was going right too!

He also had the audacity to honk at me, who was in the correct lane for where I was going. The cheeky c#*#!
